Happy Mother’s Day!

DLQ formal group graphic

Doyle’s Tribute to His Mother

“My mother was the most kind, loving, caring person that I ever knew. Mom always had time to talk and listen to me about anything that I was troubled with. Her love and compassion extended beyond the immediate family, and she never refused to help anyone in their time of need. On occasion, we had relatives come and stay with us for a while, and Mom treated them just as she treated her own children.  Mom spent a good part of her childhood in foster care, and while there were good things about that, there were also some unpleasant experiences as well. I believe that instilled in her the ability to always look past the bad and see the good in everyone.

In the last years of her life, Mom fretted about not being able to cook and do the things she had always done. She’d talk about how bad she felt with people taking care of her.  “I always took care of everyone,” she’d say. And my reply was, “All the more reason for us to take care of you.”

I suppose that I’m like everyone else when it comes to the expression that says, ‘Everyone thinks their mother is the best in the world’ …. and Mom was!

Happy Mother’s Day!”

– Doyle Lawson

Dustin Pyrtle Joins Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver

 

 

BRISTOL, TN (April 8, 2013) — Dustin Pyrtle has joined Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver as vocalist and guitarist, stepping to the mic for Michael Rogers who has returned to country music.  “The time I had with Doyle Lawson was nothing short of a great honor and one of the greatest experiences of my music career,” said Rogers, who has accepted a position with Syco Music/RCA Nashville recording artist Tate Stevens.

Dustin Pyrtle comes to Quicksilver fresh from Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, where he filled in for Moore during the time Russell suffered with laryngitis earlier this year.  With Dustin joining Country Music Hall of Famer Vince Gill as only two vocalists stepping to the mic for Moore this Spring, the caliber of artists Pyrtle is performing with speaks volumes of his talent.  So do comments circulating in social media following his debut with Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver this weekend in Hurley and Galax, Virginia, like Pyrtle is “flat out melting the vocal gig!” Doyle Lawson’s newest pick should score in spades for Quicksilver, as it appears Lawson has again picked a shining winner for Quicksilver.

The next opportunity to hear the new mix of Quicksilver will be this weekend, April 13-14, in Palm Beach, Florida, followed by shows next weekend, April  19-21, in Valdese, NC, and Princeton and Elkins, WV.  For complete details, please go to our Upcoming Shows page here on Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver’s website:  http://doylelawson.com/upcoming-shows/.

Win Lunch for Two with Doyle Lawson!

BRISTOL, TN (March 29, 2013) — Doyle Lawson is celebrating his band’s 34th Anniversary next week by partnering with a gorgeous restaurant in Bristol called “KP” to bring four Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver fans a celebration lunch with Doyle next Thursday, April 4, in historic downtown Bristol.

Two fans will be chosen from entrants on Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver’s new Official Fan Facebook Page, and the two winners may each bring a guest and be treated to lunch with Doyle at the newly christened KP, formerly K.P. Duty, at 520 State Street, beside the Paramount Theater in Bristol.

“We’re excited to partner with Doyle Lawson for such a fun promotion celebrating 34 years of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver,” said Lisa Martin, owner of KP. “We look forward to having Doyle and four of his wonderful fans with us next week!”

KP offer a delectable menu of entrees ranging from scrumptious Southern Crab Cakes to tender Pork Tenderloin to Pecan-crusted Trout, plus fresh crisp salads, hearty signature soups, sandwiches, burgers, quiche, and appetizers.

Everyone is welcome to enter the contest by visiting Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver’s new Official Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/DoyleLawsonOfficial. To enter, fans should “Like” the page AND comment on a highlighted photo of Doyle with the headline reading, “Win Lunch for Two with Doyle Lawson!”   Two winners will be chosen by drawing from entrants next Tuesday, April 2, and announced on the band’s Facebook Page on Tuesday afternoon.

Doyle officially formed his band during the first week in April 1979, and the group performed their first shows in early May, playing their first show at Buddy’s Barbeque in Knoxville on a Thursday night.  They came back to the Down Home in Johnson City for a show on Friday evening, played Saturday afternoon at a Bluegrass Festival in Pickens, South Carolina, then came back to the Down Home in Johnson City for a show Saturday night, packing four performances into their very first weekend.   Quicksilver’s first band consisted of Terry Baucum on banjo, Jimmy Haley on guitar, Lou Reid on bass, and Doyle on mandolin.

The current line-up of Quicksilver includes Jason Barie on fiddle, Joe Dean on banjo, Corey Hensley on bass, Mike Rogers on guitar, Josh Swift on dobro, and Doyle on mandolin.  Doyle was named SPBGMA’s Mandolin Player of the Year on Sunday, February 3, the same day he celebrated his 50th Anniversary in music.  Lots of reasons for Lawson to celebrate this year, with Mountain Home Music hosting an album release party last week for the reigning ICM Vocal Group of the Year Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, heralding the band’s newest album “Roads Well Traveled” at Nashville’s Sirius XM Music City Theater inside Bridgestone Arena.   Guests at the private event ranged from Media to Music Industry to four special fan guests Lawson personally welcomed to the event.

“The fans are so important to us,” said Lawson, “and we want to take this special year for us and make sure our fans and friends know how much we appreciate them.”

The current fan appreciation promotion with a prize of lunch with Doyle begins on Friday, March 29, and ends on Tuesday, April 2, with lunch for the winners being held at Bristol’s KP on Thursday, April 4, 2013.  Winners must be able to be in Bristol via their own transportation on April 4 to be eligible to win and attend the lunch.

“I’m looking forward to lunch with our fans at KP, and hope everyone will join in the fun and enter our contest, and help us celebrate our anniversary!” said Lawson.

Doyle Lawson Heralded as Legend on Woodsongs

LEXINGTON, KY (February 26, 2013) – Doyle Lawson was heralded as a legend in his appearance on Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour at the historic Lyric Street Theatre last night in downtown Lexington.

With words of praise and appreciation for Lawson and his music throughout the show, host Michael Johnathon began the show talking with Doyle about his inspirations in music, both Bill Monroe and Doyle’s dad. Doyle recalled listening to Bill Monroe on the Grand Ole Opry and admiring how Bill commanded the music he played. “I also grew up in a gospel quartet environment, as my dad sang in an a cappella gospel quartet,” Doyle continued, “so the gospel side has been as much a part of me in developing my music as bluegrass.”

While Lawson is known for his vocals and his band’s signature harmony, with Doyle fresh off the heels of being awarded SPBGMA’s Mandolin Player of the Year earlier this month, Michael Johnathon relayed that Doyle has been as important to the genre of Bluegrass as a musician as he has been as a singer.

New songs from DLQ’s upcoming album were previewed on Woodsongs last night, such as “Hard to Be Forgotten,”  “One Small Miracle,” and the toe-tapping “Fiddlin’ Will” which gave six-time Florida State Fiddle Champion Jason Barie a chance to flex some musical muscle.   In response to feedback Johnathon received about DLQ in prior performances on Woodsongs, Michael asked Doyle to give a sample of an a cappella  song Johnathon especially liked with a calypso feel. DLQ obliged, and the audience raised the roof with applause for Doyle, Corey, Mike and Josh singing “Greatest Creator of Them All.”

Michael observed that Doyle at 5 years old had listened to his heroes like Bill Monroe on the Grand Ole Opry, and Johnathon said he could imagine 5 year old kids tuning in at home listening to Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver’s music and wanting to sound like them.  Johnathon encouraged kids who were listening to put their hearts and spirits into music, and to be happy in the music they created.  He then gave three children from the audience an opportunity to be on stage and introduce the last songs by each of the show’s featured groups, DLQ and alternative grass band Lake Street Dive.  Prior to DLQ closing the show with a revved up version of their perennial favorite, “Blue Train,” Doyle was introduced as “one of the most important and best looking bluegrass musicians in History!”

Heralded by Power Source Magazine recently as being much more than sequins, stones and glitz, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver sparkled in performance and appearance on that historic stage in Lexington last night, and may well have inspired a new generation of listening kids to pick up a mandolin or dobro and put their hearts into music … the way Doyle has spent a lifetime doing, leaving a legacy of priceless music along the way.

Michael Johnathon’s Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour is heard by over 1 million listeners on over 500 radio stations in the U.S. and internationally, plus The Village on Sirius XM Satellite Radio, in addition to the American Forces Radio Network which broadcasts into over 175 countries and every U.S. Naval ship at sea. The show is also seen in millions of homes in America on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) television stations.  Woodsongs also holds acclaim as the world’s first multi-camera, weekly series broadcast on the Internet.

Last night’s show featuring Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver will be available for viewing in the Woodsongs archives on-line in the days to come as Show # 704 at the following link:  http://www.woodsongs.com/showlist.asp.
